Question posted in 
I realize this question has answers that have worked for some but try as I may, I cannot remove this annoying border.
I have tried the following CSS:
.nav-container{
border-width:0;
box-shadow:none;
background-color: aliceblue;
}
.navbar {
background-color: #99ccff;
border: 0;
}
Although the background-color does get set, the border remains.
Here is the site.
index.html:
html,
body {
background-color: aliceblue;
}
.nav-container {
border-width: 0;
box-shadow: none;
background-color: aliceblue;
}
.navbar {
background-color: #99ccff;
border: 0;

You have several declarations for the CSS box-shadow property on the .navbar-default element. If you remove all of those the border will be gone.
There is a box shadow added by the bootstrap theme. The following rules will remove it as well as on the
.navbar-collapseclass when the nav is under 768px.Note: you have a stray tag after the
fa fa-userbutton and are (possibly) using normalize.css twice since Bootstrap3 uses a version of it all ready. See normalize.less.Before with box-shadow:
After removing the box-shadow:
Working Example:
simply apply
box-shadow: none;in navbarThe only solution that is working for me is inline css with
!importantproperty:inside navbar-toggler:
